Nigerian hip-hop artiste, Omoniyi Raphael aka Zlatan Ibile has disclosed that it took several months to master his role in the popular movie ‘Gangs of Lagos’.

Zlatan Ibile played the role of a notorious gangster in the crime thriller called Kash.

According to him, playing his role was very difficult.

In an interview with media personality, Samuel Eni, Zlatan told him that it took months for him to learn the karate moves for the movie.

He said: “I have always wanted to act. I had a picture in my head. But I didn’t want it to be just any kind of movie. So, when I was called up that they wanted me to be in a movie by Amazon Prime, I said, ‘Yes, this is the actual one I want.’

“It took me months to go learn those Jet Li moves, Jackie Chan moves. It was stressful a little bit. I took out my time. I had to like pause recording music for a while. It took us like two months or so and then we rounded up [with the shooting of the movie]. The movie was shot in 2021.”
